Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device which can assist the user of e.g. a delivery system during injection.
  • a protective cap which provides improved lighting conditions during use.
  • the device can for example be an injector pen or a delivery system.
  • the tip part can be removed to gain access to the needle while at least one means for assisting the use of the device is attached to the delivery system by the main cap part still attached to the delivery system.
  • the delivery system is for delivering a medical substance such as insulin.
  • the protective cap can comprise means for clicking or otherwise releasably locking onto the device.
  • the protective cap can advantageously have a shape similar to that of traditional protective caps for devices such as for example delivery systems.
  • the main part may consist of an inner part and an outer part.
  • the outer part may cover both the inner part of the main cap and the tip part, or it may cover the inner part of the main cap only.
  • the outer part and/or the inner part may comprise means allowing the outer part to releasably lock on the inner part.
  • the assisting means may be located on the outer part or on the inner part. Where the assisting means are located when the main part consists of an inner part and an outer part may depend on the function of the assisting means.
  • the outer part of the main part may comprise assisting means.
  • the present invention may help avoid the problems occurring when the second hand is holding and activating the delivery system without any support and vibrations generated in connection with the injection are transmitted to the needle in the skin.
  • the vibrations occur partly because of the pressure of the fingers to the release button of the delivery system (as the thin needle does not meet any significant resistance under the skin), and partly due to the fact that the hand which carries out the injection primarily is controlled by the strong wrist and arm muscles which are not suitable for precise control of the small movements required for injection of medicine.
  • the delivery system is an insulin injector or e.g. a syringe
  • the present invention can be applied with great advantages.
  • the insulin injection takes time which requires that the user holds the delivery system steady during this time, which can be a straining or even impossible task depending on the physical ability of the user and also e.g. of the place of the injection site on the user body.
  • the instrument of the present invention is used, the user is using both hands—one hand holding the grip unit supported by the body and another hand activating the delivery device and holding it during the time it takes to perform the injection. This means that instead of having a passive first hand as is the case without the present invention, now the first hand is active in the process of supporting the delivery system.
  • the grip unit is comprised by a folding clip on said main cap part.
  • the clip is configured to form a grip during use of the delivery system, which grip is arranged to engage with a first hand of a user providing stability to the delivery system during injection, and the main cap part is configured to attach the grip to the delivery system during use. If the grip is also a clip, it can when unfolded be used to fasten the delivery device in e.g. a pocket when not in use.
  • the at least one O-ring is two O-rings arranged on opposite sides of the main part of the protective cap.
  • the two O-rings may be arranged symmetrically, i.e. at the same height on the main part of the protective cap.
  • the two O-rings are not at the same height on the main part of the protective cap. It is of importance that the two O-rings are arranged such that they allow the user to pass one finger through each O-ring.
  • the two O-rings are not arranged symmetrically, they shall be arranged so that it is possible and preferably convenient for the user to pass two fingers through the two rings and hold the main part in a stable manner.
  • the means for assisting the delivery system is at least one recess, such as two recesses, such as three recesses, such as four recesses, such as five recesses, such as six recesses, located on the main part of the protective cap.
  • the at least one recess is circular, ( FIG. 19 ) and runs around the circumference of the main part or partly runs around in order to allow for the proper use of a finger grip and/or the traditional clip of the device.
  • the user may hold the main part anywhere on the side, whereby the recess will prevent his or hers fingers from gliding.
  • the at least one recess may be at least two recesses, such as three recesses.
  • the recesses should be located far enough from each other on the main part of the protective cap to allow the user to position his or hers fingers between them.
  • the use of three recesses allows the user to position two fingers at different vertical positions on the main part, thereby not only preventing his fingers from gliding but also securing his/her hold on the main part and giving the user a better view of the needle.
  • the at least one recess is a pair of recesses, wherein the recesses are protuberances located on discrete locations on the side of the main part.
  • the at least one recess may be one pair of recesses, two pairs of recesses, three pairs of recesses.
  • the two recesses of each pair should then be arranged so that they are, even if not necessarily symmetrical, essentially on opposite sides of the main part, so as to prevent the user's fingers from gliding when the user holds the main part with two fingers.
  • the pairs should be located far enough from each other on the main part of the protective cap to allow the user to position his or her fingers between them.
  • the present invention provides a protective cap further comprising a timer with a display.
  • the timer can show the time elapsed since the last injection of medicine, thus allowing the user to better keep records of his medicine usage without having to remember the timer of the last injection or without having to use additional means such as a notebook.
  • the timer may be located in various positions of the protective cap. For example it may be placed on the top of the protective cap (the tip part), or on its side. In other embodiments, the timer is located on the side of the main cap.
  • the display can show the time as absolute time values (in hours, minutes and seconds).
  • time may be rounded to the closest full minutes, or the closest 15 or 30 seconds.
  • time elapsed may be visualised as a shape being gradually greyed out on the display, such as a circle or a bar, where the greyed out area is proportional to the time elapsed since the last injection.
  • the time display is located on the top of the tip part, and displaying time is achieved by LED diodes which gradually light up a circular shape.
  • the time display gives the time with a precision of the order of one minute during the first half hour or during the first hour after injection.
  • each new hour is displayed with a precision of one hour.
  • the protective cap may also comprise means of visualising the number of medicine units injected at the last injection.
  • Such means may be a digital display, the number of units being entered by the user, or it may be a rotating disc with numbers, where the user rotates the disc until the relevant number is displayed.
  • the means for visualising the number of injected units is placed next to the timer.
  • the timer display can be switched to show the number of injected units.
  • the present invention can also provide a protective cap for a device, preferably a delivery system for injection of a substance, said protective cap comprising
  • the means for assisting the use of the device can be arranged to fit a user and/or a specific use situation.
  • the means for assisting the use of the device can be arranged in a way which allows the user to slide the means for assisting use along the longitudinal direction of the protective cap and/or to rotate the assisting means to obtain a desired angle.
  • the means for assisting the use of the device for example a grip for an injector, can be arranged to have one or more use positions.
  • the grip can be fastened to the main part by a joint allowing rotation around one or more axis for example a first and/or second axis.
  • a grip is part of an instrument for assisting a user during injection of a substance by a delivery system, said instrument comprising:
  • the grip units as described in PCT/DK2012/050321 can be used as grip in the various embodiments of the protective cap and the grips described in relation to the protective cap can be used as grip units for devices as described in PCT/DK2012/050321.
  • the holder comprises retaining parts for receiving the delivery system and fastening the delivery system in a desired position in the holder.
  • the retaining parts may for example be at least partly circumferential parts e.g. crescent shaped parts gripping at least partly around one or more parts of the injector i.e. delivery system.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic view of a protective cap with a light source and a grip unit according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 8 a and 8 b show a schematic view of the use of a protective cap with a grip unit according to the present invention.
